[BlindTlk] getting started with Excel

[Jude DaShiell]

First install Microsoft Excel then open that file with excel.  On windows 
using jaws it's possible to move around with arrow keys and the f5 key 
asks for a particular cell address you type in and are placed at that cell 
address. Excel has rows and columns made up of cells like braille paper 
has rows and columns made up of cells.  The difference is braille paper 
allows for only one character in a cell and excel allows for much more 
information than that.On Thu, 1 Jan 2026, Sarah Harris via BlindTlk wrote:

> Good evening. I received an excel file. Does anyone have any tips on how to read an Excel file? I read the Jaws help topic, but I didn't understand what all the letters meant. How do you read this file format using VoiceOver? Any tips would be appreciated. Thank you.
